Character: Morgana
Series: Merlin
Character Age: 21
Canon: Based (a bit loosely) off of the Arthurian legends, Merlin is the BBC hit detailing the story of how Merlin and Arthur met, with a bit of a twist: they're both the same age. Not only that: Merlin is not an accomplished wizard, Guinevere is a hand servant, and Arthur is a bit of a prat (to say the least). Between the almost constant threats on Arthur's life, whether accidental or magical, Merlin is a tale of two halves of the same coin on a crash course with a great destiny. In the series, Morgana is Uther Pendragon's ward. Though Uther would like to portray her as a prize to be won because of her great beauty, she's far from simple eye candy.

Morgana at first seems like Arthur's surrogate sister. Or they certainly fight like brother and sister at any rate. Morgana is always ready and willing to put Arthur back in his place, lest he get a little too high for the crown on his head. Aside from that, Morgana has a strong moral compass and quick wits about her. She is willing to go the distance for what she believes is right, and next to nothing will make her back down once she's established her side of a fight. She is a compassionate, caring, stubborn person, and is more than willing to spend a night in the dungeon to prove her point, and that is certainly no way to stop her from sharpening her tongue on the wrongdoer's feelings. Though one might be tempted to think that she's really all talk, she's more than willing to pick up a sword, should the need ever arise for it.

Sample Post:

I had thought that you had meant an actual sickness had overtaken your land in your letter, not that the dead had! What would you have me do, then? Why, you didn’t even give me warning or notice of a problem of this sort, and now I have no sword to best handle this problem. Have you only half a brain? Well… you’ve enough of one to know that the dead should not be walking, but not enough to know that this is not a sickness of any sort.

Well, you’ve a mouth. Speak! I am willing to help you with this problem, but I cannot do this if you will not speak to me. We are equals, yes? This is why you wrote asking for my aid, is it not? It did seem odd that you would trust me to cure this problem and not a physician... I certainly do not have the “right equipment” that you wrote of. And now I do not even have a sword with which I’d thrust into the very foul nature of these beasts.

Get a hold of yourself! There is nothing crawling in your skin, and if there are wounds that will not heal, then you should seek a physician this instant. I don’t know how to cure sickness! Come, if you need my aid, rest on my shoulders. Together, we’ll find someone that can help us… And a weapon, hopefully. This area… Seefeud, the water looks so strange... Though, do not take me for an ignorant-I am not the sort of girl who would only stick to the rivers and lakes that I’m used to. Anyone could see that that water is not fit for drink-

Unhand me this instant! You…! You lecherous--! I can’t believe you would think of that at a time like this. Have you no morals?! Of all the ignorant, barbaric, rude… Well, perhaps I have been far too quick to speak. It seems that most of my words have simply confused you. Please, let’s start again. You started to talk of your sword? How perfect, of course I’d love to handle it! It would be my honor. After all, it seems I am lacking the right equipment for what I intend to do.

Let me rip your sword from you~. I’m certain you won’t be needing it anymore after today, and you seemed as though you really didn’t know how to use it. If you question my skill... well, I can certainly handle a sword better than any man.
